Home Loan Tips & How to Prepare

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just need a refresher, understanding how to get mortgage-ready can make the process smoother and faster. Here’s what to know before you apply:

What We Look for When Qualifying You

Lenders evaluate four key areas:

  1. Credit Score – A higher score improves your rate and options (620+ minimum for most programs).
  2. Income & Employment – Stable, verifiable income is essential. Self-employed borrowers can qualify too—with the right documentation.
  3. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) – We look at how much debt you carry compared to your income.
  4. Assets – Down payment, closing costs, and reserves should be documented.

What Documents to Provide

Be ready with:

  • Last 2 years of W-2s or tax returns
  • Most recent pay stubs (30 days)
  • Bank statements (last 2 months)
  • ID (driver’s license or passport)
  • Additional docs if self-employed: P&Ls, 1099s, bank statements, or CPA letter

What Not to Do During the Loan Process

Avoid these common mistakes:

  • ❌ Don’t open or finance new credit (cars, cards, etc.)
  • ❌ Don’t make large, undocumented deposits
  • ❌ Don’t switch jobs or become self-employed
